Aaron Rodgers' time with the New York Jets is officially over -- the team made the announcement it was moving on from the four-time MVP on Thursday ... saying it was time to move in a different direction at quarterback.
Newly-hired head coach Aaron Glenn and general manager Darren Mougey released a joint statement on the decision minutes ago ... saying they met with AR8 last week and let him know of their plans.
"It was important to have this discussion now to provide clarity and enable each of us the proper time to plan for our respective futures."
Aaron Rodgers is likely moving to a new city this offseason, but one Steeler is hoping it's NOT Pittsburgh ... with safety DeShon Elliott taking to social media to say he'd rather see the superstar quarterback retire than be his new teammate.
Elliott-- a sixth-year safety for the Black and Gold -- was spotted in the comment section of an aggregator account on Instagram ... which stated Steel City was a potential landing spot for the four-time MVP.
Elliott wasn't thrilled with the idea of bringing Rodgers on board ... saying, "Leave his ass at the retirement home."
Jets fans are going to love this ... one of Aaron Glenn's former players tells TMZ Sports New York's new head coach is going to have them winning games in no time!!
Lions star cornerback Amik Robertson raved over Glenn in a sit-down with us this week ... just days after the former Detroit defensive coordinator accepted the gig in the Big Apple.
Robertson told us Glenn was actually the reason he came to the Motor City from the Raiders this past offseason ... and he gushed over the way the 52-year-old allowed him to blossom this year.
It is no secret Aaron Rodgersand his family aren't on good terms ... but now the Jets signal caller is delving deeper into some of those issues, saying the rift between his folks was so bad, he had to "re-parent" himself.
The 41-year-old 4x NFL MVP QB opened up on the subject in his new three-part Netflix docuseries "Aaron Rodgers: Enigma," one of the only times he's publicly addressed the topic.
“At times when you have some dysfunction or some separation in your family life, you have to kind of re-parent yourself and give yourself what you didn’t get or wanted to hear more of when you were a kid, and I think for me, I just wanted to hear, ‘I’m proud of you,’" Rodgers said during the second episode of the series.
Aaron Rodgers says the recent burglary at Joe Burrow's house is rather fascinating ... large in part thanks to the 911 call coming from a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model and her mother.
The New York Jets quarterback was asked about the most recent home invasion involving an NFL superstar at Wednesday's practice ... and he opened up on the safety measures he's taken at his own digs -- while also making note of Olivia Ponton's involvement in Burrow's fiasco.
"Well, it's an interesting situation that happened in Cincinnati, mostly around the call," Rodgers said. "But yeah, I think something happened in Kansas City as well."
The cameras were rolling when Robert F. Kennedy Jr. tried to get Aaron Rodgers into politics ... with new footage showing the former presidential candidate asking the quarterback about the possibility of a career in government -- and it's all featured in a new Netflix documentary.
A teaser for the upcoming Rodgers project dropped during his weekly appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show" on Tuesday ... and there are plenty of interesting nuggets throughout the short clip.
While Rodgers said the three-part series chronicles a lot of his Achilles rehab and a trip down to Costa Rica -- where his Ayahuasca experiences famously took place -- it also briefly shows a conversation between Rodgers and RFK Jr.
Aaron Rodgersis putting to bed any rumors he was shaded by Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans following the Jets 21-17 win on Thursday night ... saying the two dapped each other up -- the cameras just missed it!
Rodgers appeared on the Pat McAfee Show Friday morning ... where good buddy A.J. Hawk asked whether there was any beef between the two men after video began circulating online seemingly showing Ryans ignoring Rodgers after the clock hit 00:00.
Some fans speculated the alleged beef was due to AR's relationship with fired Jets HC, Robert Saleh, who is friends with DeMeco.
The 39-year-old was confused at first ... clearly not aware of the controversy. Then the guys pulled up the clip.
Aaron Rodgersand the New York Jets kept their season on life support with a big win over C.J. Stroud and the Houston Texans ... and the MVP of the game?? Well, it wasn't a player or coach ... it was water with cayenne pepper!
Rodgers (as he's pretty accustomed to) made news this week when he revealed he'd discovered "a little fountain of youth" with the drink, saying he added it to his rehab regimen for his ruptured Achilles.
Well, after Gang Green's 21-17 win over the current AFC South leaders, Rodgers and the teammate who recommended the drink to him, punter Thomas Morstead, posed together for a picture!
Adam Schefter had football fans in a tizzy after being accused of using an illegal streaming site to watch "Thursday Night Football" ... but sure enough, it wasn't what it looked like.
The longtime ESPN talent posted a clip of Jets receiver Malachi Corley's bone-headed fumble during the second quarter of New York's matchup with the Houston Texans ... but instead of focusing on the lowlight, folks noticed a MethStreams watermark in the top left corner of the video.
Naturally, that led people to assume Schefty didn't have an Amazon Prime membership and wanted to use other means to tune in to the action ... which would be a bad look for one of the biggest insiders in the league.
Aaron Rodgerssays he's never once eaten one of his boogers ... even if it sure looked like he did during the Jets game Sunday night.
The star quarterback was adamant about the matter when Pat McAfee brought it up to him during Tuesday's episode of "The Pat McAfee Show" ... insisting he's never, ever dug for gold and then shoved it down his mouth.

"I've actually never eaten my boogers," he told Pat, matter-of-factly. "That's one thing I'm very proud of."
Sunday Night Football came to a halt late in the third quarter last night ... when a fan with a Pro-Donald Trump sign ran on the field -- all while the former U.S. President was in the building!
The woman's sign read ... "TRUMP SECURE BORDER" and "KAMALA OPEN BORDER"
Ultimately, security corralled the fan (who people are saying is IG model Claudia Rose) near the 50-yard line ... and she went without a fight.
Aaron Rodgers threw two picks on the field on Sunday night and then added one more off of it -- as cameras caught him diggin' for gold in his nostrils right on the sidelines of the Jets game.
Check out footage from NBC's "Sunday Night Football" broadcast ... as Rodgers and his New York squad were getting pounded by the Steelers in Pittsburgh, the signal-caller took a few swipes at his nose.
Then, as you can see in the clip, he appeared to eat what he dug out.
Steelers legend Terry Bradshaw says if he were in charge, Justin Fields would still be the starting quarterback in Pittsburgh -- and NOT Russell Wilson!
We caught up with Hall of Famer turned excellent FOX NFL analyst out in L.A. ... and with a ton of speculation that the org. is getting ready to switch to Wilson, we asked Terry if Fields should keep his starting gig.
"He's played well enough to keep the job, in my opinion," he said.
Robert Saleh has emerged after being fired by the New York Jets last week ... making a quick run to Whole Foods in New Jersey -- but it sounds like he's ready to stop roaming the aisles with a shopping cart and get back to work.
The recently unemployed coach hit up the grocery store in Florham Park on Tuesday ... and as he was heading to his car with a bag of goods, photogs checked in on how he's doing.
Davante Adams wasted no time linking back up with his buddy, Aaron Rodgers -- he crashed the quarterback's interview just hours after it was revealed he was going to be a New York Jet!!
Adams made the surprise appearance during Rodgers' weekly hit on the "Pat McAfee Show" on Tuesday ... and the two couldn't contain their excitement.
"We're back man," Adams said while standing behind his old Green Bay Packers teammate. "We're back!"
Davante Adams is getting another change of scenery -- the superstar wide receiver is being traded from the Las Vegas Raiders to the New York Jets ... pairing him with his old buddy, Aaron Rodgers.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport broke the news on Tuesday ... saying the three-time All-Pro is heading to the Big Apple in exchange for a conditional third-round pick that could elevate to a second.
As part of the agreement, N.Y. will reportedly take on the rest of Adams' five-year, $140 million deal he signed in 2022.
